I move amendment No. 15:

In page 89, between lines 19 and 20, to insert the following:"(7) The Commission must provide for anonymity and confidentiality of a complainant who reports a breach of the Regulations, and a complainant who waives anonymity must be protected from discrimination, disadvantage or unfair treatment as a result of the complaint subject to natural justice being afforded to the accused.".

This amendment provides, where requested, for anonymity and confidentiality for suppliers who make complaints about breaches of the regulations and for protection against discrimination by retailers for suppliers who may waive anonymity in making complaints. Obviously, this would be subject to natural justice being afforded to the accused.
